General Information
What is PaedsMentor?
PaedsMentor is an independent online question bank and exam practice platform specifically engineered for the MRCPCH theory examinations: Foundations of Practice (FOP), Theory and Science (TAS), and Applied Knowledge in Practice (AKP). We provide a high-volume database of nearly 10,000 MCQs focused on exam-style practice rather than lengthy textbook teaching.
Who creates the content?
All questions are written and curated by a collective of currently practicing UK paediatric doctors with direct experience of MRCPCH training and assessment standards. The content is designed to reflect the specific clinical reasoning, typical style, and difficulty level of the real exams.
Is this platform affiliated with the RCPCH?
No. PaedsMentor is an independent educational resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH), any NHS Trust, or any university.
Does this replace textbooks or official courses?
No. This platform is a supplementary revision tool designed to complement your clinical training, national guidelines, and standard textbooks. It is most effective when used as part of a structured revision plan alongside the RCPCH curriculum.
